Mashboxx *UPDATED*

Mashboxx is a new P2P file sharing program for legal music downloads. Basically you can listen to any authorized track 5 times to see if you like it. After that you are restricted to a 30 second sampler, unless you decide to buy the song.

“According to the most recent NPD Digital Music Study, nearly 75 percent of P2P users found sampling to be important before deciding whether to purchase music.”

Looks promising, definitely something i would consider. You can sign up to test their beta product via their website. Check out the news section of their website for more details.
